170821:
Either Harcourt Gardiner's date of birth is wrong or she was a child of Peter Tessier's first marriage, not his second, because his second marriage was not until 1831. But his first wife, Marie Germon, died the year before this child was shown as being born. Needs further research. My guess at this time is that she was in fact a child of the second marriage but that the estimated birth date is erroneous and should be after 1831.
